The Design: When the idea for this shoot initiated there was one word in mind: glam. We wanted to capture the elegance of an era dominated by glitz and glamour. The location for the shoot was Gibson House Yolo County Historical Museum – what better place to capture old glamour than a historical mansion? The color scheme came together around deep purple. The deep purple was accented by blush and silver tones. The elegant table design could not have been possible without the beautiful rentals from Dogwood Party Rentals. Their extensive silver collection allowed the vision to become a reality. Silver candlesticks and chargers were accented by crystal glassware. The mahogany harp back chairs finished off the vintage look. For the floral design, deep purple flowers were accented by lots of white and greenery. The flowers featured a free flowing shape to accent the formality of the tablescape. Angels Petals conveyed these design ideas with lilac, lithianthus, ranunculus, tulips and amaranthus.

The Details: The era could not have been portrayed properly without some form of cocktails. The set up featured some delicious liqueurs that go hand-in-hand with champagne. Throw in the coup champagne glasses and it was set. Lastly, the cake from Cake Couture made its statement with a black bottom layer to add just enough depth and decorative rhinestones to add just enough glam.

The Look: The dress was probably the easiest decision of the whole shoot. Upon hearing the vision for the shoot, La Soie Bridal in Sacramento, provided this stunning dress. The intricate beading and lace made it the perfect depiction of glam. With the help of Haute Bride, we finished off the look with a striking headband, pearl bracelet and glamorous earrings.

The Photography: All of these details and designs would have gone unappreciated without the fabulous work of the photographer, Heather Elizabeth Photography. Her depiction of each detail was perfect. As each photo comes together, it displays the story we wanted to tell – vintage glam.
